Coiled in the pit for a steel line tension strike
Rattle of a tail, warning of a poisonous bite!
Watch where you step and keep a wary eye –
For the Rattlesnake!
Snake burning gaze, looking to paralyze
A serpent hiss and a fire in its eyes!
Crawl out of its skin and shadow of the night –
Of the Rattlesnake!
Castanet music and a twisted dance of death
Frozen in time and not a shallow breath
Snake eyes locked and ready to take you out –
It’s the Rattlesnake!
Twist… Dance… Strike…
Hiss… Spit… Bite…
Watch where you step and keep a wary eye –
For the Rattlesnake!
